This is a brilliant facility and I think we're really lucky to have it in our region. The Forum…read moreLeisure Centre has a fantastic ice skating rink where you can just go for fun, or you can have lessons. There is also a swimming pool, a gym, badminton courts etc. It's got loads of facilities and is really brilliant. The ice rink is particularly popular. I have to be honest, I find it a bit grotty, but my daughter loves going skating there, and the prices aren't too bad. They have a big seating/viewing area and every Christmas they put on a panto or something on ice. This is a really popular event.

Looks like being completed late November but will probably not open till January. Completed now and is opening January 10th or 17th 2010. Pellikaan Construction Ltd UK have done a very professional job of the building and should be commended. New webpage address for this information is http://www.hetton-online.com Official opening day on thursday 14th January and it looks worth the wait. hopefully I will get some more good pictures.:) The pools and fitnesse centre are now open to the public so lets hope its put to good use by local people. Unfortunately due to a change of government, concessions to under 16's and over 60's will cease at the end of July so a lot of families and over 60's will be disappointed as the cost to some will be out of their reach. The proposed new glass along the side of the building (being designer and wont be cheap and there are MUCH cheaper materials available) is on show in the building, but maybe if this cost was used instead for concessions for people who qualify maybe it would be a better idea in this time of allround cutbacks! Bearing in mind an already public viewing area inside is available where the public can pay to watch what is happening in the building.

Stokeley Leisure Centre has a reasonably good range of equipment for a small market town leisure…read morecentre. As well as the twenty five metre pool with seperate small pool for toddlers and those learning to swim. The sports hall is spacious but dated and in need of some draft proofing as well as better lighting. The availability of bookable slots is restricted as the facility is also used by the nearby Comprehensive School which is joined to the rear entrance to the building. There is a small but modern gym with all of the usual aerobic kit. What the centre may lack in equipment and size it makes up for with a friendly and efficient staff.

Parking is completely free around the centre, though beware of rolling trolleys in high winds! There's also a good bus service and for anyone walking in, I wouldn't recommnd the walk alone but all footpaths are safe and a way from the road. The Rainbow leisure centre has a main hall, squash courts, a pool room and bar, a library, a cafe, a gym, pool and a smaller hall usually used for aerobics classes or bouncy castle parties. It's open 7 days a week and offers pretty much any sport you can ask for. You can hire it out for quite a few things, I've been to Bouncy castle parties here and I have been to an 18th here once. The library isn't always open though so look up the times before you go. The cafe is situated above the hall so any parents can look down and watch their children in various sports. Prices are moderate, but you can only start to book cours 24 hours before unless you're a member at the leisure centre. By joining you get to go to a number of places around Middlesbrough. The staff are all really polite and I only have one small annoyance about this place that because of the balcony you're often subject to people leaning over and wolfwhistling as you play badminton or sqaush.

Check out the teesactive.co.uk website for details of all the facilities this place offers. I am a gym member and the gym is great - it was recently refurbished and has top of the line new machines and well trained staff to help you get the best out of your gym sessions. If you get a monthly gym membership (lots of packages on offer) all the fitness classes here, and at the Forum as well as the swimming pools in billingham, thornaby and stockton are included at no extra charge. Well worth the subscription you pay and it is reasonably priced unlike some gyms in the area.
